Description

Welcome to Your Pet Business, Your Way - the podcast for pet professionals who want to grow their business without following someone else’s rulebook. If you’ve ever felt bent out of shape trying to do content “the right way” or pressured to keep up with trends that just don’t feel like you, this podcast is here to help you do things differently. I’m Rachel Spencer - journalist, accredited coach and mentor, author, and creator of the Pet Business Content Planner and Companion and the Pets Get Visible membership. I work with brilliant people in the pet industry who want to put themselves out there, get seen, and make a difference - without burning out or trying to be someone they’re not. Each week you’ll hear stories, strategies and mindset shifts to help you feel more confident, consistent, and in control of your content. You'll also hear from inspiring pet professionals who are doing things their way. There are no quick fixes or copy-paste strategies here. Just thoughtful ideas, inspiring stories, and plenty of encouragement to help you build your pet business in a way that feels good, sustainable, and true to you. Come and connect with me on Instagram @rachelspenceruk
